Piano solo. Grainger (1882-1961) was a classicly trained folk song enthousiast who started songcatching in the slipstream of Cecil Sharp and Ralph Vaughan Williams. American, recording after falling out of grace with the English folk establishment for making field recordings with (primitive) recording devises, more exactly in Brigg, Lincolnshire. See all Joseph Taylor entrees.
